I'm doing the half marathon version of this race this year, My first race ever. Thanks for the inspiration Wes!!!!
Yay! I’m excited for you! I hope you have a great time. 🙌🏼
Wow! I love the course! So pretty and lots of varied terrain. Thank you for taking us along with you and for sharing this video. I said it before but you're a great inspiration! Thank you!
Thank you Chad! I enjoyed this one, thanks for coming along! :)
Wow. Beautiful course. Ouch. That cramp did not look fun at the finish. Great job. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thankfully the cramp didn't happen sooner! Thank you for watching.
Lovely, perfect weather too
Thank you!
Wes…Thank you for another awesome and motivating video brother.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the beautiful views and inspiration yet again.
Thank you Kevin! :)
Awesome, stunning scenery
The colors. Wow.
You were standing right next to a friend of mine at the starting line! I want to run this race…maybe next year!
How fun, what a small world. I hope the fall colors are this vibrant when you run it!
Looks a great run & great filming 🙌🙌
Thank you very much!
Nice looking run. Well done mate
Thanks Aaron!
Great forest and colours...
The colors were so great!
Looks beautiful
The fall colors were glorious!
Thanks for this one; I ran it the same year as you and you nicely captured the colors I remember from the day. Did you have to enhance the colors with editing or did they come out that nicely with your camera, no color editing needed? It was a lovely day for sure and the trail was so nice and soft under foot. A nice treat. Thanks for sharing!
I rarely do any color correction, clips look like that straight from the GoPro. Thank you for watching, I'm happy this brought back memories for you!
Wes, you need to come to Canada for either QMT110 or 50 or Harricana (UTHC) in Quebec, lot of beautiful scenery
I agree! I would love to come run one of those. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put them on my wish list. :)
Thanks for the video!! I'm hoping to do this race next month. Can't wait!!
Awesome! I hope you have a good time! The area is so beautiful.
@@wplate yes, definitely a pretty area. Used to drive right through it every year on our way to a lake just northeast of Crater. I'm excited. First race beyond the half marathon distance.
@@LittleMrsW first ultra?! I’m so excited for you!
@@wplate well, I finished the 50k!! It was a gorgeous run! Took me 7 hrs, longer than I would have liked, ended up walking/jogging quite a bit of the last several miles, but I'm glad I did it, and I have a much better idea of how to train for the next race. 😁 Enjoyed watching your video again, it was fun to relive the day!
@@LittleMrsW Congrats! You finished, that's awesome! Every run and race has something to teach us, and that's how we improve. Did you have good fall colors?
It was great running with you and enjoying the scenery. Hopefully I'll see you at moab and maybe possibly cocodona... who knows!
Yeah man, great to meet you. Hope to catch you in the trails again.
Really nice 👍
Thank for you checking out my channel, I'm so happy you like the videos.
Great video! I'm running this next month. Looking forward to that "flat & runnable" course 😂.
At the end though, you also commented that it was hard - I'm curious what part(s) were particularly hard? Thanks!
I think it was hard for me because I ran it harder than I normally run. I was under a delusion that I could possibly run my fastest 50K there. The elevation is relatively low compared to other 50Ks I've done, but I've just better at slower I think. I really let my nutrition and hydration fall apart at the end as well, evidenced by the cramping. There are some technical sections I remember, but mostly I wouldn't say this is a hard 50k. Good luck, I hope you have good weather and gorgeous fall colors.
Wes,
Gorgeous run. How do you search for races? Thank you.
All the ways. I see them mentioned in Trail Runner or Ultrarunning magazines, I see friends run them in Strava, I hear about them in conversation, I see IG posts about them… I also like to enable alerts for races on Ultrasignup. I get emailed when a race opens registration, and when a race is filling up.
2:48 OMG
Right? It was so beautiful.
Wow, I would love to run here. 😍
A beautiful place! Thanks for watching.
Is this a good first 50k? Or did you prefer the Smith Rock 50k? What is your favorite 50k in Oregon?
Great questions Tessa!
This is a pretty good first 50k, in that it has relatively low vertical gain. It has a 8.5 hour cutoff, which depending on how fast your first 50k is going, could feel tight. Daybreak Racing races I’ve done have had tighter cutoffs.
In my opinion, Smith Rock is more interesting than Rogue Gorge. The rocks and the views and the climbs and the descents of Smith Rock give it more character.
Of the three 50Ks I’ve done in Oregon, Smith Rock may be my favorite.
Wes, how many ultras do you do a year?
Yikes, I did six in 2018, six in 2019, eight in 2021, and so far planning on seven in 2022. 😳
